Your GP can be an important first step in accessing mental health treatment and suicide prevention support. They can assess your needs and connect you with NHS services such as talking therapies (IAPT), counselling or referrals to community mental health teams.
GPs can also signpost you to local support groups, wellbeing programmes, and crisis services, ensuring you get the right help at the right time.
If you’re struggling, speak to your GP about the mental health support options available in your area.
